Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3364 (Three Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty-Four) Degradation

After saying this, Tie Wandao felt that comparing himself with a master of a minor alchemist was simply degrading himself as a clan leader. This time, he felt that what he said was a little embarrassing, but not serious. However, he still wanted to save his face, so he said, "That's right, how can your master compare with me! How many people in the world can be as majestic as me!"

Ning Duanye couldn't stand his master being belittled, and blurted out: "My master always convinces people with reason. It doesn't matter whether he is dignified or not."

Tie Wandao felt that Ning Duanye's words were secretly mocking him. He suddenly glared at Ning Duanye fiercely and said, "Am I giving you too much face?"

Ning Duanye was frightened by his gaze and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Tie Wandao then continued, "Did you mean to be sarcastic in what you said just now?"

"No!" Ning Duanye said, "Absolutely not!"

"I find that you are really good at saying things against your will." Tie Wandao said.

"Chief, I didn't say anything against my will!" Ning Duanye said.

When he said before, "My master has always convinced people with reason. It doesn't matter whether he is very majestic or not," he really didn't mean to mock Tie Wandao. But now he realized that the words didn't sound very nice. However, he didn't dare to explain. He felt that if he explained now, it would be like admitting that he had intended to mock Tie Wandao when he said that before, which would only make the matter more obvious.

"How many lies have you said in such a short while? Do you think I can't hear them?" Tie Wandao asked, "When you said that just now, were you thinking of my majestic appearance?" "Really not!" Ning Duanye said, "When I said that just now, I was just thinking of my master."

He had not intended to explain, but Tie Wandao even asked this question, so he had to explain.

Tie Wandao felt that this was a "step", after all, he hadn't used Ning Duanye yet, and he couldn't do anything to Ning Duanye right away. He thought it was better to just pretend that Ning Duanye didn't mock him, after all, he had to save face in front of Tie Jinjue and Tie Hongyan. He was ready to go down that "step", but he felt that if he took that "step", it would be like he was wrong to say that Ning Duanye said something against his will, so he wanted to pull the topic back to the previous incident and say that Ning Duanye said something against his will about that incident.

Tie Wandao asked: "Let me ask you again, do you really think you should accept Huanshi?"

"Sincerely! This is a must!" Ning Duanye said.

"You are still saying things against your will." Tie Wandao said, "Forget it, just say it. For you, face is really more important than anything else. You just refuse to admit that you are not capable of learning magic without accepting Huanshi."

Ning Duanye couldn't stand Tie Wandao's accusation. Seeing that Tie Wandao's mood had eased a little, he said, "I sincerely believe that. I know very well that everyone must accept the significance of Huanshi to all living beings and to the order of the world before learning magic. If not, the world will really be in chaos!"

Tie Wandao thought: This Ning Duanye loves to argue too much! He is clearly speaking against his will but he appears to be sincere, and even after being exposed, he still refuses to admit it! He is too bold, and he dares to talk back to me in front of Elder Tie and the young clan leader. Don't think I can't hear him talking back in secret!
The more Tie Wandao thought about it, the more angry he felt.
